Parked cars and motorcycles were submerged in floodwater amid a storm in the Philippines.

Locals waded through knee-deep water to evacuate as vehicles remained stranded during a downpour in Iriga, Sorsogon.

Footage captured by Domz Adajal shows men making their way through the flooded road carrying their belongings on June 30.

Meanwhile, a white minivan was seen stalled in the middle of the street, having broken down as the water level continued to rise.

The Philippines and neighbouring Southeast Asian countries are entering their annual monsoon season, marked by soaring temperatures followed by intense rainstorms.

The region's low-lying geography, inadequate drainage systems, and rapid urbanisation make it especially vulnerable to flooding.

Limited infrastructure often struggles to handle the heavy rainfall, resulting in widespread flash floods.
